We have been making a lot of homemade ice cream at my house this year with our old hand crank ice cream maker…the last batch was my favorite…Turkish cherries and dark chocolate in a country vanilla base.  Yum!  So, I haven’t really been motivated to visit my favorite ice cream shop.  But, this week I did end up going for ice cream, just not to my usual spot.

One of my friends had never visited The Creamery at Ferris Acres Farm in Newtown, so I took it upon myself to introduce her to The Creamery and I am sharing the visit with you on today’s Friday field trip .

Ferris Acres is the last working diary farm in Fairfield County and it certainly is a beautiful location to enjoy some good quality ice cream.   Something about a farm and cows just seems to make the ice cream taste all that much better.  And, flavors?  Yeah, they got ’em…the flavors in these photos are not even the complete list of offerings…

I really enjoy a creative name for an ice cream flavor…it’s almost as good as a great nail polish color name or paint color name.  They have a few good ones, don’t you think?  I had a scoop of coconut chocolate chunk…not one of the more creative names on the list, but a delicious ice cream!

I also had a scoop of Salty Cow…delicious!

As you can see, my friend certainly made her first visit count…waffle cone and all!  I have a strong feeling she will be back for a visit!

How could I resist snapping a photo of this happy customer..yes, life is good with an ice cream cone in hand on a hot day!

Can’t imagine why this customer didn’t convince his parents to take the “The Creamery Challenge!”

Hope you enjoyed our visit to Ferris Acres Creamery in Newtown, Connecticut…if you find yourself in the neighborhood, be sure to stop by Sugar Street!  Yes, that is the name of the street!

Have a really great weekend and remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
